Summary

Minipuberty is a term used to describe the transient activation of the pituitary-gonadal axis 2-3 months after birth in both boys and girls. It is, however, not known why infants reach adult levels of reproductive hormones in early life, nor is the exact timing of the peak known. Furthermore, what determines the timing of peaks and suppressions of reproductive hormones from infancy throughout childhood and into adolescence remains to be elucidated.

The study aims to described and evaluate dynamic changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal axis in early postnatal life.
